Californian court orders San Quentin prison population reduced by 50 percent

So even California disagrees with all the people Kamala locked up. Got it

ICE needs to stand outside the gates.

Drop them off at Alcatraz.

San Quentin is no joke. That's where the most severe offenders in California go and that's also where they house their Death Row inmates. It's also presently home to the world's largest collection of serial killers.

Interested to see how this shakes out as most of the inmates there are probably in for very serious crimes such as rape and murder.

I guess they'll have to draw straws to see which 50% get the death penalty?

How many inmates are Foriegn nationals?

Tattoo deported on their foreheads and put them on a barge and tow it out past Catalina problem solved.

Judges consistently make the mistake that legislators will “do the right thing“. Here we have a judge who disagrees with the executive branch on how to operate the prison during the Covid outbreak. The court knows that it’s ruling is unreasonable and that the administration cannot reduce the prison by 50% capacity without legislators intervening from a budgetary standpoint ( fund more prisons or low security facilities like half way houses). I’ll bet you a dollar that the legislators will never agree on how to respond to this ruling and as a result the executive branch will have no choice but to comply and begin to release prisoners so that the court does not hold them in contempt. It’s idiotic. I have seen this happen thousands of times with judges. This is an example of legislating from the bench As the judge has no means to control either the operation or budget of the prison, but issues a ruling that clearly impacts it without regard to its impact upon the rest of the state.

How many inmates hospitalized or dead from Covid?

Good for the "for profit" prisons that will catch the overflow.
